In my mind, it would mean distant galaxies are in fact much further away than we think. If light was faster in the past, then it has travelled a greater distance than what we see now as it arrives at 300,000 km/sec.
Hence, the mention that really fast light after the Big Bang might get rid of the conundrums of "inflation" and "dark energy".
